BIOLOGIA CENTRALI-AMERICANA. 
ZOOLOGIA. 
Class INSECTA. 
Order LEPIDOPTERA. 
Suborder HETEROCERA (continued). 
Fam. EUSCHEMIDZ. 
In the New World this family is very poorly represented ; from our region we only 
know of four species, representing two genera. 
PHAOCHLANA. 
Pheochlena, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 176; Walker, Cat. i. p. 467 (part.) ; Butler, Trans. 
Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 62. 
The type of this genus is P. tendinosa, Hiibn., from Central and South America; 
three species are now known from our country. 
1. Pheochlena tendinosa. 
Pheochlena tendinosa, Hiibn. Zutr. Samml. exot. Schmett. i. p. 18. no. 45, ff. 89, 90; Verz. bek.. 
Schmett. p. 176; Walk. Cat. ii. p. 467°; Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 62. - 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus) ; Honpuras!; Guatema.a, Cerro Zunil 4000, to 
5000 feet (Champion).—CotomBiA, Bogota; Lowrr Amazons, Para. 
This common South-American species appears to be very rare in our country. 
Mr. Champion only sent a single specimen from Guatemala. 
2. Pheochlena solilucis. (Tab. XLI. figg. 9, ¢; 10, 2.) 
Pheochlena solilucis, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 62°. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Arcé, Ridbe), Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 
—Ecuapor ; Upper Amazons!; East PErv. 
A beautiful species, quite unlike any other known to me. The specimens from the _ 
State of Panama, from which our figures are taken, agree well with the Amazonian 
type.
